Great location!

The house was perfect for our group! We loved the location. There’s plenty of parking space. The house could use updated mattresses and more furniture in the bedrooms.

Great rental

We rented both sides of the duplex. Everything was great. You really can't beat the location! It was amazing to just walk right out to the beach. Beautiful views. Plenty of space.

Our family of 25 stayed in both sides of this home. The home was as described and filled our needs quite sufficiently. There was an issue w one of the AC's and we got a quick response when we reached out and the crew stayed on the issue until there was a resolution even though it was christmas eve and christmas day. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place

Great area, great place. We had many questions and they were answered quickly! The house was perfect for our family. We didn’t get to use the pool because it was too cold. But the view of the ocean was amazing! We can’t wait to go back.

As advertised!

The stay was exactly what the listing showed- no surprises here. We had trouble gaining access to the house and the emergency management line answered and resolved within 5 minutes of calling. House was great and the neighbors were friendly!
